Hello all, new member here and to the car audio family. I never had a system in the 90's when all the boys had them and now I have recently been super interested in getting something simple. We only have the 1 SUV for the whole family so going all out is out of the question. I really just want a single 12" ported enclosure. Leaning towards Kicker Comp Q (will need a recommendations for an enclosure), or an L7. Nothing too elaborate. My wife is not into "bass" as we are, so obviously I am going to need something that can be turned down whenever her and the kids are in the truck. I am assuming a bass knob will do the trick but not absolutely sure. As yall can see I am very green/new to all of this. I have "some" knowledge but not enough. Anyways, I know that car audio is more difficult now than it was back in the day. I have a 2021 Ford Expedition Max Limited with the 12 speaker B&O system on the factory SYNC3 head unit. From what I understand it cannot be "upgraded" w/o losing the SYNC3 functions etc. Correct me if I am wrong. Quite frankly I really don't necessarily need or want to replace the head unit nor any of the speakers (at least not yet). I plan on upgrading mids & highs later. I am just wanting to add a new (better) sub/amp. So, back to newer vehicles aren't as simple...I know that the factory stereo has bass roll off and I will have to install a LOC as well. Thoughts on the AudioControl LC-1.800, or LC-1.1500. I believe if I researched this correctly that it will kill 2 birds with 1 stone if you will by not having to purchase an LC2i(Pro)+amp, correct? Should I do the 800 or the 1500 is another question? Thoughts on DSP's, Epicenter Micro. Upgrades to electrical. All the small things etc. Any and all advise, criticism, recommendations is more than welcome. I could not find through the search function anything on my specific vehicle, so if anyone has a 4th gen expy or has installed in one, please feel free to reach out. My apologies for the rambling. I am new to all of this including forums and what the proper etiquette is in these things but im sure I'll be undoubtedly educated by someone. Thanks again. My email if anyone wants to reach out is [email protected] if that's your preference of communication. Thanks again. 🫡🤝🤜🤛 **If this is the wrong Forum/Sub-Forum, just let me know which forum to move it to & I will gladly** -
Check out our 10 gauge pure copper speaker wire! 12 gauge is usually too small for high powered subs, and 8 gauge is overkill, and usually wont fit in most terminals... 10 gauge is just right, and it's two stranded and super flexible for easy routing. Check it out!! only $75 shipped for a 100 foot spool anywhere in the 48 united states. Contact us for per-foot pricing! www.mechman.com http://www.mechman.com/accessories/cable/10-gauge-heavy-duty-pure-copper-ofc-speaker-wire-100-foot-spool-blue/

Speaker wire distribution block?
wonderboy posted a topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
Would it be alright to use some aluminum distribution blocks for 8 gauge speaker wire? I have a dvc sub and a monoblock amp with only one pair of terminals, and I'm wiring in parallel so I was going to machine some nice little blocks so i wouldnt have to stuff two wires in one hole. lol. Anyways, this wouldnt cause any distortion or bad resistance, would it? -
